Why does Patanjali's Yoga not include the concept of the yoga of kissing?

Yoga is a rigorous path to inner transformation, not a sensational label for ordinary acts.

Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, Patanjali would never include a 'yoga of kissing' because such notions are modern, foolish American inventions, not part of classical yoga’s scientific discipline. Yoga isn’t about sensational labels for ordinary acts; it’s a rigorous path to inner transformation. Only if Patanjali were reborn American, Osho jokes, would he pen such trivialities.
Osho says “yoga of kissing” is just a silly modern fad, not real yoga, so Patanjali didn’t teach it.
Why this matters practically
- Distinguish authentic practice from fads.
- Keep focus on inner transformation, not gimmicks.
- Avoid wasting time and energy on sensational labels.
